Half Genie
The appearance of a half-genie is normally so close to human that it is impossible to tell from a cursory glance that they are not human, although they are always exceptional beautiful for humans. It is only on closer inspection that people notice the other worldly grace, the serenity and the small cloud of sand that often dance around their feet. General it is an impression of unearthly beauty and grace that distinguishes a half-genie from a human.
Half-genie belong to neither the civilization of the Genie or the humans they most commonly take as mates. Half-genie become a part of either parent's culture as they are too few in number to form their own society. Those half-genie who adopt human culture tend to remain on the outside, keeping themselves on the fringe of civilization so they do not become to tangled up in its webs. Unfortunately, like their parents, they tend to find themselves inexorably draw towards humans. Many never know a life outside of human communities as half-genie are normally born to human mothers left behind by the wandering Genie. Those half-genie who chose to accompany their full Genie parents are always aware of their difference, for unlike the genie they are mortal (although they age a lot slower than humans). They also have to eat unlike true genie and while half-genie can rely on their parents ability to magically create food most make it a point of pride to be able to hunt and forage for themselves. Some suspect some of the half-genie who choose a life in exile or amongst humans do so to prove their independent, self-reliance. Half-genie are emotionally closer to humans than their flighty genie kin but they are always aware of their superiority, this self-superiority comes not just from their slow ageing and good looks but also from their innate magical abilities. As half-genie get more powerful they gain access to the magical abilities that normal genie have from birth.
